I don't think it's so much that Google ignores the founders, so much as the founders are ignoring Google.

I was at G when L&S stepped away, and it really just felt that leading up to that, they'd become completely disinterested. S, especially, seemed completely out of touch. And L just tired.
You make a valid point, but I feel there is something in the direction the article is gesturing at...

The mean of the n-dimensional gaussian is an element of R^n, an unbounded space. There's no uninformed prior over this space, so there is always a choice of origin implicit in some way...

As you say, you can shrink towards any point and you get a valid James-Steiner estimator that is strictly better than the naive estimator. But if you send the point you are shrinking towards to infinity you get the naive estimator again. So it feels like the fact you are implicitly selecting a finite chunk of R^n around an origin plays a role in the paradox...

As the OP said, "Thomas'" is pronounced "Thomases".

"Thomas's" means "belongs to Thomas". Pronounced the same, but spelled differently, because it is a different word.

Using copyrighted content for commercial purposes should be a violation if it's not already considered to be one. No different from playing copyrighted songs in your restaurant without paying a licensing fee.

I'd be fine with abolishing, or overhauling, the copyright system. This rules with harsh penalties for consumers/small companies but not for bigtech double standard is bullshit, though.

Do you differentiate between a full time recruiter employed by the hiring company and 3rd party recruiting firms? A recruiter on the payroll can be a useful first screen and usually has good knowledge about what the company is seeking.
Which make? I’m guessing you mean gnu make, well there’s several incompatible variants as bsd make and nmake. Also bash is not universally used, not windows, not current macos.
I, personally, would not chalk that up to a phenomenon. Operating System selection largely depends on the work you do paired with the industry you're in. Some extrapolations:

I work in systems engineering for web technology companies. Most of the applications I build run on Linux so it makes sense to write on a Unix like OS. I could use Linux or MacOS, but Apple has a strong preconfiguration and leasing pipeline so usually the companies I work for offer MacBooks Pros.

When I was building software in the US South I would have to look out for companies that were Windows shops because I don't do Windows systems engineering and there were an abundance of shops that did before the .NET Core rewrite that enabled you to run on Linux. Those shops would've definitely shipped me a Windows laptop. Anecdotally, I buy servers out of a DC in Houston and nearly all of them come with Windows Datacenter edition. Most of those companies fell into certain industries that didn't include what I typically worked in.

That's all to say, region can be roughly correlated, but it's not the actual reason. It largely has to do with who sold who the software stack they have trouble moving off of today which influences everything else.
> I would argue that qualia are in fact the only thing we can be certain does exist. I won't though, because now that you've brought us back into thought-terminating cliche territory, there's little point.

As I said, there's nothing thought-terminating about eliminative materialism, and I provided a link demonstrating active work in neuroscience to account for consciousness based on that premise. If it were thought-terminating, why are people developing more thoughts based on it?

The only thoughts that are terminated are the attribution of mystical and non-scientific properties to consciousness, which is exactly what you'd expect from actual science.

> I assume this means you will give equal weight to his point of view.

I have but ultimately didn't find his position persuasive. What I wouldn't do is dismiss his entire position as a thought-terminating cliche though, or assume a deep thinker like Dennett didn't consider an objection as trivial as all of our knowledge being built from qualitative experience. You started this thread by stating that you've never understood the argument behind eliminative materialism, and with the way you've described it so far, I suggest it's because you haven't given it a serious effort.
"Video Games" for Flies Shed Light on How They Fly
One thing I've found useful in parsing modern news is to remember:

A pile of extreme occurrences does not an argument make.

Because there's insane stuff happening somewhere, to someone, all the time.

With the benefit of digitized news we've enabled lazy trawls to create a pile of "Look at how extreme and crazy ____ is!" to support any viewpoint on any topic.

Anti-gun? Here's some insane gun owners. Pro-gun? Here's some horrific crimes.

That's modern opinionated news in a nutshell -- here's a pile of extreme occurrences, look at how extreme they are, so you should agree that the other side is crazy.

An actual argument involves more annoying to fudge (and admittedly, harder to compile) data like frequency, normalization against population or historical averages, geographic localization, etc.

I've found arguing from questions rather than statements helps. What's the root question? And then what data would answer that question?
To answer what is a great translation, we first need to ask to whom it should be great.

The readers? The only thing that makes a translation great for them is whether the translated text reads well. Whether the translation is accurate to the source material is irrelevant; the readers literally can't tell and don't care, that's why they are reading a translation!

The publishers or whoever hired the translator(s)? The most important thing for them is speed of translation, how many words per minute. Accuracy and reading well are secondary to speed. Time is money.

The translators themselves? Depending on whether these are amateurs translating out of passion or professionals translating for a living, what makes a translation great is going to be either accuracy or speed (time is money!) respectively.

Personally, speaking as a Japanese-American who has done amateur translations (anime fansubs) at one point, being a translator is terrible; the absolute worst thing about it is that the work is thankless. Whoever reads your translations simply can't appreciate quality, and if you're translating for someone for hire there are usually more pressing concerns over quality.[1]

I think the OP doesn't either trust the declared goals of "countering institutional prejudice" and "improving the quality of the student body", or doesn't believe that DEI actually does anything relevant in this sense.

Even for banal acne treatments, proof of safety and efficiency through several stages of trials is required before people are actually subject to it.

With DEI, we are just expected to believe that it actually works and should be applied across the country because some smart people say so.
Yeah I agree, Ansible would be so much better if it was Lisp-first with a perfectly non-scary I'm-a-devops YAML syntax instead of OMG-parens-nobody-understands-Lisp Lisp syntax.
Linux could probably do it despite glibc, just more carefully.

But OpenBSD also broke Go binaries, with some recent changes, right?

Breaking ABI towards userspace, or breaking user space? What's the difference? Binaries that used to work no longer do.

If you only run packages and ports, then shrug. If all you have is packages, ports, and source, then just upgrade and recompile everything.

I'm not saying it's wrong to break userspace, but it's not inaccurate to call it such.

C.f. Google's monorepo, to not need to maintain an ABI.

ABIs may or may not be overrated, but dropping that requirement sure make things easier.
Of course, it would be completely impractical. Nobody has demonstrated it because they were interested in a practical solution.

I'm always so torn about reading translations, especially of poetry. I do read them and value them but I always wonder what was lost in doing so.

I have a bit of a sense of this having learned a couple of languages enough to be aware of what's lost in translation, and examples of good and bad translations.

Sure, and I by no means advocate for every rando to be able to freely build RF devices. My point was that protocols being open means little, when to actually use them you have to negotiate with large commercial entities that actively don't want to deal with you. It's a different pair of shoes than just dealing with (your national equivalent of) FCC and the local community of practice, as is the case e.g. for HAM.

The analogy to the Internet I'm making is this: yes, the protocols are open and you can theoretically participate with "the Internet" using even a potato, as long as it speaks TCP/IP. This is the decentralized, packet-switching, "routing around censorship" part. It's also not the part that matters - the actual Internet is the application layer, and it's in large part centralized in entities like Meta, Google (and on a different dimension, Cloudflare). Packet switching won't help your Facebook page to "route around censorship" when Meta itself is the censor.

but it's 41 years later and c is #2 on https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/, followed by c++, which is almost a superset. items #4, #5, and #6 use c syntax but are high-level languages, and item #7 is a redesign of c as a high-level language with different syntax by, in large part, the bell labs team that designed c in the first place. the #1 item is a high-level language that departs significantly from c syntax, but its almost-universally-used interpreter is written in c

41 years isn't forever but it's longer than computers had existed in 01983. so that's not a bad showing, especially given the thousands of programming languages that existed before c

Nice "reasons".

And no, your 4KB rant about how System76 may or may not also do bad things, how much you hate people who want "meaningless things like app indicators and themes", how much you hate "the shit Android oems do", how GNOME may dictate "their own fucking desktop" but neither downstream distros nor upstream apps deserve the same autonomy, how KDE supposedly "just don't care" about themes (blatantly false, especially under TFA)— ad infinitum— None of that is is actually relevant to how GNOME treats people.

I have no desire to let you "infinitely increase the granularity of the discussion, so that the rhetorical burden on me just expands indefinitely and you can always bring up a new thing and say I haven't dealt with it". The point is how GNOME treats people, and (after your aggressive replies) how you treat people— not whether you can technically personally "explained at length why" it's "far better, in fact, than KDE or any other DE".

> Protecting the electromagnetic spectrum will need to be considered of paramount importance (as our communications infrastructure depends on protecting it).

I wouldn't be that sure.

Yes, there is a lot of garbage and congestion on the spectrum, but thanks to new approaches to (forward) error correction, higher quality RF parts and especially the explosion of compute power, we can achieve ridiculous communication quality. And it's not new either - GPS is orders of magnitude below the noise floor, and yet, we got "smart collars" for cats and even birds capable of decoding that signal.

Pretty much the only ones who actually have a problem with all the garbage are hams, and to a lesser extent air traffic control (for them, it's mostly people with garbage handheld radios, and dumb pilots not switching from ATC to onboard communications).
